    the real question is why won't usher grow up?

    ^^^^^^

    exactly

    usher really hasn't evovled all that much since confessions, and yes 'here I stand' was more adult, but it was a ? album

    no one cares how grown you are if the music is ?

    I don't think his decline has to do with him being 'grown', but moreso because he keep trying to recreate the success of confessions, you can't recreate a classic.

    I don't get where yall coming from with "Here I Stand" is a ? album. IDK maybe its just my ears. Let me give Raymond v. Raymond a couple more thorough listens.

    ? is a cool song, but I won't listen to it because like you said its not Usher. Has anyone heard the entire album? What do you think?

    exactly, the song itself is fine. just really doesn't match him. i haven't heard his album yet. as soon as i heard "little freak" that song with nicki minaj i just knew i wouldn't like the album.

    Co-signs, I understand why "Here I Stand" barely went Platinum. There were some weak songs on there, Usher was clearly not in his zone on that record:


    Raymond Vs Raymond > Here I Stand

    And that's not saying much. Usher's last two have been pretty forgettable sadly and I love Usher but he needs to step it up. "Raymond Vs Raymond" was a step in the right direction but he's not quite there yet. I love "? " though, I think that's going to be a #1 single cause it's tearing the clubs up, it's the perfect club record. Will I am killed that beat.


    LOL, i called it, "? " became Usher 9th #1 single and hit #1 in 8 countries. I felt it, that song had hit all over it. LOL @ everyone sleeping on it and now it's an intertnational smash. Yes it's not Usher style but it worked for him. Also I'm not a fan of autotune but once again for the club it works perfectly. Props usher, he's now had a #1 song on every ablum but his Puffy produced debut, LOL.

    I think it's the content that I like about Here I Stand. Like I said before, it's only so much repetitiveness you can take from him. I felt, even though it's not as strong of an album like 8701, he moved on into something different, better imo. It's getting to the point where you just don't take him serious anymore.
